Scarlet the FoxI think it's time for folks to learn how to self-host again and to spread the hobby around.
The web should be unruly and insubordinate. Centralization and the pursuit of convenience is killing the internet.

Seems like we or our communities need to run our own email servers and possibly VPN, CryptPad, and NextCloud, although email spam and (other junk mail) can be too much for most administrators.

Eduardo Mercovich (él)I second what @kete said:
. between self host (very few can do it, and almost 1 server/person))
. and big tech (almost everyone, but jailed)
. our communities are the ideal human scale.
Communities can be a family, a group of friends, a club, a church, a hackerspace, a study group, a sport team.
They can go from a few people to a few dozens... That is enough to have some people who know how to do the needed things, a diversity of voices, distribute costs, have appropriate governance, while evolving local, shared, sensible rules.
We do that in a few communities I'm part of, and it works beautifully.
